Interesting angle, but the topic matter doesn't grab me much. It meets the challenge, but that's about all.

Oh, small grammar nit: "its", not "it's". (No effect on score, certainly, but it's one of my pet peeves.)

nice tones, but the fence doesn't add anything to it the composition.

I really like the texture and composition of this shot, but I'm afraid I don't like the tone. It's either too strong, or just the wrong tone altogether, I can't decide which. Either way, it is a nice shot, but it's just not working for me.

the subject is ineteresting, and the foreground blurred fence is nice, but the lighting feels a bit flat..

Nice shot. Great idea for a duotone. Not sure if I like the pinkish hue that much, I would prefer it more on a brownish or platinum coloring...I think (?)

Nice contrast but I think there's to much red tone in this, and not enough white (ie. to much "mid-tones" and greys).
